Specifically the park will honour servicemen who lost their lives in the war and to the district men and women who served in the Vietnam conflict.
Dedication of the Memorial Park is to be held on Vietnam Veterans Day, August 18, and will be opened by Federal Member for Calare, Peter Andren, at 10.30am.
Vietnam Veterans, inmates from Bathurst Correctional Centre and dedicated community volunteers have been hard at work turning two hectares of remnant bushland into a picturesque Memorial Park on the corner of Boundary Road and Mid Western Highway. President of Bathurst Vietnam Veterans Association, Kevin Wren, has called for `all hands on deck' tomorrow and Sunday, at 10am for last minute refinements.
